  • A relative of mine used to give her kitten a lillet tampon,instead of a toy mouse to play with.The kitten obviously did'nt know the difference and used to hunt with it and carry it around in it's mouth.She changed her mind when her rather snooty boss and his wife had come round for dinner and afterwards while they sat having coffee in walked the kitten with it's tampon.Apparently his wife was horrified.

    When my grandmother passed away my mother and I were clearing out her house and found she had stuck sanitry towels along the bottoms of all the doors as draught excluders!

    And if you soak the whole thing overnight in the washing up bowl it'll do the outside too :)

    This thread should be called `1001 uses for sanitary towels`!
  • This one will have your friends thinking you are seriously wierd but it works.
    Just before christmas I was flicking through the TV channels and came across a programme called Trade Secrets. They suggested if you have no room in your fridge for all your christmas veg, put it in carrier bags and peg it on your washing line. The outside temperature will keep it colder than your fridge.

    We had some very funny looks from people after seeing all our veg hanging on the line, but it worked a treat, the carrier bags kept it away from birds and having it off the ground keeps it away from all other beasties.
    I didn't have to throw away anything, the salad stuff lastest for ages and I was making soup with the leftover veg two weeks after christmas :)
    Well I can't stand by the side
    And watch this life pass me by

    Just want to be...Happy

    Do not use tampons as christmas tree decorations!! a son of a friend thought thats what they were for, embarrassed the life out of my friend.

    Do not use deodorant "to keep you cool" on sunburn, I learnt this lesson the hard way as a young teenager, on the same note do not use baby oil to get a tan!

    Old age isn't bad when you consider the alternative.
